Taste and Other Stories by Roald Dahl This is a collection of short stories by Roald Dahl. I have chosen to tell my three favorites. The first is Taste. These are two men who both claim to be good wine connoisseurs and have the old habit of betting on who knows which wine will be served. On this occasion, the stakes went out of control and one bet on two houses and the other on his daughter. What they don't know is that one of them has already gone out to check the label of the bottle of wine, and obviously the result is that he won the bet. One of the servants notices this and the scam is revealed. The second is called The Leg of Lamb. It tells us about a married couple where the man is a police officer and the woman is a loving housewife. One night, when he returns from work, he behaves very strangely and later tells her that he wants a divorce because he is having an affair with another woman. The woman is shocked and pretends not to have listened. He goes down to the basement to get something to eat for dinner and gets a leg of lamb. She finally hits her husband on the head with the frozen leg of lamb, and when the police officers arrive to investigate the murder, she offers them the lamb for dinner. The third is Birth and Destiny. It's a simple story about a woman who has her fourth child. The other three died at a young age and she is very afraid that this one too will suffer the same fate. The newborn is later revealed to be none other than Adolf Hitler. There is one thing in common with all the stories in this collection. They all have a twist in the tail. We can also notice that many of the characters are ordinary and respectable on the surface, but many of them have an unexpectedly dark and cruel side to their personalities. In Taste, a harmless guessing game between two lovers of good wine suddenly turns deadly serious. At first it is nothing more than a pleasant dinner, but suddenly it turns into an embarrassing situation for all parties. The main characters seem very likable, but we soon realize that when it comes to betting, everything else is put aside.
